Jacob,
It does sound like a fuel problem. Running for a minute or so seems like the carb bowl is getting emptied and not refilled properly. So it runs for a minute, then quits. One way to check that is when it quits, pop off the carb cover and see if it's empty or full. If empty, you can go from there by checking your fuel pump and associated filters. You also might try it with the gas cap off to make sure the vent isn't blocked.
I don't know much about the Solex carb. I've switched all my VSaab's over to Weber's- two have the 34ICH and one has a two barrel 32/36.
Congrats on getting the ole girl (almost) running.
